The Bayeux Tapestry (French: Tapisserie de Bayeux) is a 50 cm by 70 m (20 in by 230 ft) long embroidered cloth which explains the events leading up to the 1066 Norman invasion of England as well as the events of the invasion itself.

The Tapestry is annotated in Latin. It is presently exhibited in a special museum in Bayeux, Normandy, France.
